Hundreds of cases have dei onstrated in a most striking manner that the weeding out of non-produc- tive milk cows and better care for the producing members of the milk herd pay big dividends. This point was strongly stressed in an exhibit at the International Dairy- 'Exposition held at Indianapolis last October. An actual instance. was given which disclosed the following facts. : : A milk pfoducer had a herd of six milk cows producing 27,000 pounds of milk annually. He joined a cow testing association. The first step taken was to weed out the non-pro- 'ductive cows, that is, thosg cows elding insufficient milk to net a Eo tacome over and '®bove feed cost. he 3 The weeding out process left only four cows in the milk herd. But - these remaining cows were fed ac- cording to their individual require. coring No sanitary or beneficial feeding measyire was neglected, Dur- ing stabling months, they were given "plenty of clean bedding; stables were kept clean; the long hair on flanks Aid to Milk Production- Elimination of non-productive cows from milk herds increases net profits, oi cows were brushed or wiped with & damp cloth before each miiling Ctonsils were sterilized. 'The stub! was well ventilated and plenty of clean, pure water was given the cows. A year from the time the membe! joined the association, his record: showed an increase in milk to morc than 28,000 pounds from the four cows as compared to 27,000 pounds from six cows prior to this period. There was more than a correspond- ing increase in butterfat. The cow testing association con- sists of about twenty-six farmers who co-operate and employ a trained tester to test their cows for econom- ical production of milk and butterfat. The tester spends one day a month on each farm and obtains a complete record of each cow's milk and but- terfat production, feed consumed, feed cost, growth, and income, and income over feed. > The first cow testing association in | the United States was that organized" at Newaygo County, Michigan, in 1906.
